The rooms are however, clean and there is not much noise, though this is rather dependant on your neighbours. Park End street is home to one of Oxford's major clubs, so expect to be in the midst of the nightlife. The city centre is very close, at about 5 minutes walk.

I've stayed in better hostels, but I've also definitely stayed in worse…read more Oxford Back Packers, the "funky hostel," is located near both Gloucester Green bus station and the rail station, and is also not too far of a walk from the city centre, so it's pretty convenient. The rooms were okay, not spotless, but not too gross... although, my travel buddy was a little suspicious that her sheets hadn't been washed. The beds weren't very comfortable, but really, what hostel beds are? The bathrooms weren't too bad - there was some hot water, and the loos as a whole weren't too dirty. The staff weren't overly friendly, but they also weren't rude, and tended to be available if people had questions. We didn't try out the bar/common area, but it seemed popular with the other guests. Basically, a "meh" experience overall. Certainly cheaper than a B&B, but not the most enjoyable place to stay. Bonus points for their creativity with decorations.

The couple who own it are charming and its a very friendly local for Boar's hill's more relaxed residents. The pool table is small but none the less entertaining and they have a TV playing sports events or another program of your liking. It is changing owners at Christmas i believe and so its possible it could all change after that. We'll just have to wait and see i suppose.

What is more, the position of the house is amazing. It is not far away from central London. And you can find tube station within 10 minutes by walking. Another good alternative is buses. There are more than 15 different buses near this house that will take you to wherever you want. The house is pretty and very clean. I was happy that I can use the kitchen free. The bathroom is always clean, because the host---James clean it every day. I am very happy with my experience in Woodville guesthouse. The host was very nice and with great hospitality. He cooks very well....to be honest I do miss his food......:-) My trip in London was perfect not only because of the view but also James and his guesthouse. To be honest with every one who will see my review, this guesthouse worth more than the price it charges. After all, highly recommend this place to every one and believe me it will become one of your best experiences in London......

I think this is a great place to stay if you want to explore London on a budget, but don't want to…read moregive up comfort and privacy. The host rents out 3 rooms in his house, and you have full access to the kitchen and the bathroom. I really liked the arrangement because I could cook me own meals and save some money on eating out. The facilities were clean and well-maintained. The host, James, was very helpful and considerate. He is also very knowledgeable of London, so make sure to ask him for sightseeing suggestions. He is also very smart and pleasant to talk to. Definitely talk to him about art :) The house is situated in Walthamstow, one of the London suburbs. It's a nice neighborhood, there is a huge street market working on High street, so you can get, for example, fruits or other food for cheap. There are also at least three large supermarkets on High street, some pubs and restaurants if you don't cook or prefer eating out. Despite the presence of tha market I didn't have any problems with security, even when I came back late at night. The streets are well lit, there are police patrols, so it indeed feels quite safe. Walthamstow central station is within a 15-minute walking distance. There's a Victoria line Tube station there as well as buses and trains (I've never used the latter). The Underground will take you to King's Cross in 25 minutes and to Victoria Station in 40. The trains go every 3-7 minutes, but, unfortunately, I've found the London Underground to be quite unreliable, e.g. the service is disrupted sometimes -- but that is the problem you will have to face if you're staying in the suburbs (and a lot of other hostels and rentals are situated in the suburbs too). The buses are more reliable but take more time to reach London. There are night buses that run all night and you can use them if you're coming back late (the underground closes at 11pm). Overall, I really enjoyed my time at Woodville Guesthouse. It's a really good alternative to staying at a hotel if you're traveling on a budget.

So I was delighted when I found the Queen Elizabeth online, and booked immediately. Check-in was fairly easy, with staff helping us out, and pointing out lockers we could use for secure storage of goods. Rooms were fine, nothing special. The place wasn't very clean, but the beds were comfortable, and I slept alright. Location is good for accessing city centre. Buses go from close by, and Fulham Broadway tube station is about 10 minutes walk. Certainly not the best hostel I've been in, but you'll struggle to do better on a budget in London.
